ItchyFeet76 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 No problems, just pleased all my hours spent titivating it are being put to good use!! Have actually updated it this evening with car costs (incase we need to buy a car). For the record, these were estimated at $357.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tina0101 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I love your spreadsheet!!! It's become my life and me and Vanduex are filling it in and researching every night at the moment!!! You are a superstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Superstar is a strong term . . . it is frying my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchyFeet76 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks! Glad it's helpful :-) I've actually just deleted that version and uploaded a newer one with more recent exchange rates and a formula to work out the net disposable income (the other spreadsheet had the incomings and outgoings but didn't calculate the difference). It also includes the option of a car (vs living in the CBD). Unfortunately I somehow lost all the Aus grocery prices though, so I'm currently going through all these again, but I've only gotten as far as 'chips' so far, I'm afraid!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've just realised this is in the Transport & Shipping section so may need moving to a more appropriate part of the forum... (cheers, mods!) Sorry Hun only just seen this, will move to household and make it a sticky, thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchyFeet76 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks. It's still rather organic so plenty of room for improvement, I'm sure, but at least it should give people a rough idea of costs. I would appreciate any feedback on the figures from people actually living in Aus, as I've extrapolated these from hours of online research and forum-trailing - as opposed to actual experience of living over there - so I may have under / over-estimated in some areas (hopefully over-estimated!!). I-F :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott2013 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Can someone send me this spreadsheet as tried to open and was blank page. I do have newer version of Excel so unsure if this is the problem? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmac Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you soooo much for sharing. Your spreadsheet is amazing & I applaud your patience & time taken in researching all the details. It's a fantastic help x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchyFeet76 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Scott2013, did you manage to open the spreadsheet? I've just tried and it works for me so perhaps it isn't compatible with your software... It was originally a basic Excel document (the new version of MS Office) but I had to save it as Excel 97-2003 as it was the only way I could get it to upload I'm afraid :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 This spreadsheet seems to think I might struggle financially... is there an excel formula to fix this lol? Only kidding, may need to scrimp on foxtel and mobiles until OH finds work, but plenty of time to worry about that. I'm very pleased you created this as i would have done something of a similar intensity anyway, it's much nicer to just modify yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very pleased you created this as i would have done something of a similar intensity anyway, it's much nicer to just modify yours Ha ha, I'm afraid not! For what it's worth, though, I do have a propensity to overestimate! The figures may not be 100% accurate as they've been extrapolated from talking to forum members and my own online research... If you've noticed anything glaringly over / under-estimated then please let me know :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoSurfer Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That spreadsheet is intense. I've started my own rather than try and edit my details into yours, but I'm cadging ideas and prices from it - cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisella Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just had a chance to look at this - much kudos to you, it's amazing, thanks so much for posting x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchyFeet76 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks Louisella - I've actually been updating it recently - feel free to change it to suit your needs, it has plenty of room for improvement and was just a rough draft (didn't have time to 'perfect' it as I saw this thread and wanted to share it straight away to help out).

nikkib Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks Louisella - I've actually been updating it recently - feel free to change it to suit your needs, it has plenty of room for improvement and was just a rough draft (didn't have time to 'perfect' it as I saw this thread and wanted to share it straight away to help out). Thans so much for sharing this spreadsheet, you have thought of everything. I am a spreadsheet queen myself, but mine is no where as intense as this!! We appear to be in the same ball park for a lot of things such as groceries and car costs, but i guess we will know for real when we arrive in August. Being an accountant, no doubt I will keep tract, and can update people. Have you not made the move yet Itchyfeet76? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks TeacherBen, I'll give it a go now. The spreadsheet has been updated with last week's exchange rate, whereby $1 = 0.526767p.Cheers, I-F :-) PS - It's a work in progress so feel free to modify it / suggest improvements, plus the Groceries bit is half-finished as my hard-drive died and I lost some work as I didn't save it before it crashed :-( Wowzers, that's amazing! Good work I-F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
